I notice the first two differential oil changes on any vehicle I've owned were the most important, by the third change the oil I was draining out was as clean as what I put in. I had a 2006 Legacy GT Spec B I kept till 195,000 miles. Every 30K I did the diffs and transmission, at the 90,000 mile service all the gear oil was clean. I stopped changing it by 120,000 and it's still going today with 250,000+ on it.
Interesting thing I've read on here (more than once too) is that the front diff change at 30 on the Toyota is dirtier than the rear diff.

This is good to know. New to me. Thanks
